À propos de cet audio

Prose that demands to be read aloud requires a special kind of narrator. For the Audible Signature Classics edition of Joseph Conrad’s atmospheric masterpiece, Heart of Darkness, we called upon four-time Academy Award nominee Kenneth Branagh.

Branagh’s performance is riveting because he reads as though he’s telling a ghost story by a campfire, capturing the story’s sense of claustrophobia, while hinting at the storyteller Marlow’s own creeping madness. Heart of Darkness follows Captain Marlow into the colonial Congo where he searches for a mysterious ivory trader, Kurtz, and discovers an evil that will haunt him forever.

With this landmark work, Conrad is credited with bringing the novel into the twentieth century; we think Branagh brings it into the twenty-first.

Stay tuned for more one-of-a-kind performances from actors David Hyde Pierce, Leelee Sobieski, Tim Curry, and more, only from Audible Signature Classics.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"Acclaimed Irish actor/director Kenneth Branagh impersonates Marlow in this recording. Admirably, while fully playing the drama, he never goes overboard. He plays the tale for the great yarn that it is." ( AudioFile)

Branagh's mastery of vocal performance brings each character uniquely to life. Clearly the best option.

Branagh is brilliant.

Listening to this title was a blast from the past. I had forgotten how much this book impacted my early teen mind when I first read it. “We live as we dream…alone”

Astounding

#Audible1. Conrad’s insights and ability to convey meaning and depth of human conquest from the perspective of hunter and the hunted...invokes within us, a view into darkness of our soul. It is only through the enlightenment through the medium of literature are we left enriched and placed in a mode of reflection....the Congo has never really recovered from the blanket of exploitation.
The narrator Kenneth Branagh takes us through this journey - the way Conrad may have envisioned this story is told...

This book is a work of art in literature...

Honestly it feels like this was the way HoD was meant to be experienced! Brannagh's dramatic reading perfectly fits the framed narrative of telling a story.

Branagh's performance perfectly suits HoD

The quality of the narration pulled me right into this book. I had been meaning to read it since the movie Apocalypse Now back in the '80s. not the kind of male-centric material I normally like, but Branagj's narration made all of these characters both sympathetic and tragic.

outstanding Narration .

The highlight for me is Branagh's brilliant performance. It is perfection. I was, however, troubled by the racism in the story. Although this is, of course, historically accurate for the times (and even now in 2022), it still takes my breath away and is difficult to hear. Conrad's writing is powerful. I highly recommend this version due to Branagh's reading. Do I recommend Heart of Darkness? Definitely. What it says about human nature is invaluable. It is a classic for a reason.

Kenneth Branagh is brilliant!

What will man do for an idea? He can rationalize many evils for the sake of a "higher" goal. Those who do not not carry the light with them inevitably get lost in the darkness.

The dark side of man's desires
